My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

My Scholarship entry - West Bengal: Where the streets mean business

My name is G. Meyer and I am an Engineer by profession. For me photography has always been the way in which I express my creativity. In photography, contrary to what is the common situation in technical fields, the concepts of "right" or "wrong" , "better" or "worse" are extremely subjective. This allows me to take decisions following totally different metrics than those which i am use to, to follow more my intuition, something I find completely refreshing.
Apart from photgraphy I love travelling and experiencing different cultures, especially those which take me out of my comfort zone. A trip without my camera makes me feel like a camera without a roll of film. I feel the need to document the places and people I visit, and strive to offer a different view to what most people see. For me beauty is 100% in the eye of the beholder, and I believe that it can be found in the most unconventional places. Making photography more than a hobby, something I can make a living out of, has been a dream of mine since I was a kid. This opportunity I believe would allow me to take a peak into that world and I am sure will help me shape and expand my approach to photography in unimaginable ways.
